As part of a federal grant, Newark High School is embracing the creative potential of putting Apple Products in the hands of students. In the library, the new MacBook Pro lab is open in order to provide students the opportunity to create podcasts and movies. Since Mr. Freccia is part of the roll-out, over the course of this year various assignments will be posted here (as well as in the class pages) along with student produced projects.
